Beth Davenport brings her friend David Delaroux to see Rockford. Beth respects both men, so when David told her he suspected financial fraud at his employer, she knew right away who to ask for help. Rockford easily discovers that there's no fraud - and then two dead men turn up in Rockford's trailer. He's stuck between the local police and Federal agents, and Beth can't help him because she was already working for Delaroux!
